Help with white

[Fisheveryday]

I’m having a difficult time with getting white to stay white; pretty sure it’s operator issues any advice would be appreciated my process is pretty straight forward. 

I’m Using baitjunky firm mix / M&F non bleed 3309x2 white / M&F .062 Black and 5 drops of heat stabilizer 

my process is as follows. 

heat 2 cup to 350 let cool to 315 - 320 and mix 10 drops of color then glitter and transfer to a presto pot and repeat a second 2 cups then mix it all together in the presto pot.  I  can  get 3-4 injectors full then the aqua green color starts up and get darker after each shoot you can see the difference in the colors shot right after each other . 

I’ve tried with another brand plastic , white and glitter and also tried mixing color first then heating and I get the same results but after one injector full. 

 

Thanks in advance Dale

What's the temp of the plastic in the presto? 

[Fisheveryday]

I keep it 310-320

I use a 1 tsp heat stabilizer per cup.

The color change may be coming from your glitter.  After it's been in the liquid plastic for a bit the color may be bleeding. If you do a test batch without glitter do you get the color change after several shots still?

Thanks and yes its the glitter white stays white without the glitter 

Hmmm anysuggestions im trying to do a ghost effect with black glitter but coming out with mint chocolate chip color

Try waiting  until just before you shoot the plastic to add the glitter.

2 drops per ounce max on heat stabilizer as well, as it will dye the plastic itself.

Yes I did a test shot without glitter and I came out perfect . I know the glitter is bleeding I’m just gonna go back to smaller batches takes more time but comes out the way I want. I most likely am not keeping the glitter of the bottom of the pot and need to stir more but don’t have an extra set of hands  

 

thanks Dale

Yep their stuff is great & I think the best there is & i've used several different companys glitters & colorants both & it just suits me a whole lot better all the way around. I do however use some red craft glitter from walmart in some white lures like flukes to get a light pink tint to them & it works great.
